"Drip-feeding" information on the Wanaka Aquatic Centre was creating frustration for everyone involved with the project, the Wanaka Community Board heard this week.
However, a working party set up to examine the likely final needs for an aquatic centre can not provide any certainty about where the facility could be located until reports on the Wanaka sports ground location and camping ground review are received.
Aquatic centre working party chairman Leigh Stock said it would be wrong to make recommendations on the likely location for a swimming facility without viewing the other reports.
Queenstown Lakes deputy mayor John S.
Wilson said the community was "stuck in a cycle of drip-feeding" when the message was "Just get on with it".
However, aquatic centre project manager Ken Gousmettsaid they were not the "architects of the drip-feed".
It was being forced upon them by virtue of the consultation process.
The working party tabled a report on the requested public facilities for an aquatic centre, but wants to put the document back out for public consultation, because "needs and requirements may have changed in the past two years".
Board members voted to wait until the reports on the sports ground, camping ground review, and the aquatic centre could be viewed together at a November meeting.
